Quote - Well, if SM is too "stingy" as you say, to hire professional talent, then I don't see them paying DAZ to license Genesis, as that would definitely cost them considerably more than it would to pay for professional modelers. If not up front, then in the long run as they'd have to continually pay for a new license every time Genesis' mesh is changed.  

If SM doesn't want to invest in better figures, then they'll suffer for it in time. So far I don't see how they can be suffering too badly since they're continuing to update and expand its features. That costs money too. If they weren't still selling, then I doubt they'd be putting in the same efforts to expand the software as consistently as they have been. And in fairness, SM has done a better job at updating and investing in Poser than most of its previous parent companies have. None of us knows what they're working on next.

AmbientShade you are right about SM doing a better job at updating Poser than previous parent companies. I have to thank SM for that. It's an amazing program and they've given those working on it the chance to make it excel beyond all my previous expectations. It really is an amazing software. =)
